Paul Murphy represented Wales in Parliament from 1987 to 2015. In the nearly thirty years that he served, including two stints in the Cabinet, he played key roles in the establishment and nurturing of fundamental constitutional change, including the pivotal part he played as Northern Ireland Minister under Mo Mowlam in negotiating the Good Friday Agreement. In this memoir, Murphy reflects on his career and offers an insider’s perspective on the modern history of devolution in Wales, and the negotiating of the Good Friday Agreement on the island of Ireland.
